This project is the joint effort of the students of the 11th grade. While learning about communication and the ways people communicate, it was decided to research into animal's manner of communicating their messages.
Most animals use “body language”, i.e.using facial expressions, posture, gate or how fast they are moving. Besides, animals use sound and smell in order to communicate with one another. Here are some examples of the ways animals express themselves.
Many animals communicate by smell. Pheromones animals release send messages to others. Pheromones play an important part in reproduction and other social behavior. They are used by many animals, including insects, wolves, deer, and even humans!
Let's take bees for example. They dance when they have found nectar. The scout bee will dance in the hive, and the dance directs other bees to the location of the nectar.
Chimpanzees greet each other by touching hands.
White-tailed deer show alarm by flicking up their tails.
Dogs stretch their front legs out in front of them and lower their bodies when they want to play.
Elephants show affection by entwining their trunks.
Giraffes press their necks together when they are attracted to each other.
Gorillas stick out their tongues to show anger.
Horses rub noses as a sign of affection.
Kangaroos thump their hind legs to warn others of danger.
Prairie dogs bare their teeth and press their mouths together to discover if they are friends or foes.
Whales breach (leap out of the water) repeatedly to send messages to other whales.
Swans entwine their long necks both to fight and to court.
Male fiddler crabs wave their giant claw to attract female fiddler crabs.
